Landscape.
Style
and Technique: Peer uses his native Arkansas as the framework for exploring his
interest and love of colour. “I have a particular interest in color
combinations that create a richness of surface, an inner glow or that make a
painting ‘sing’. My goal is to combine the beauty of the landscape with the
immediacy of drawing and the magic of interesting color. My chosen materials
are soft pastels on a hand textured and painted surface. All of this is in an
attempt to develop that color richness I am looking for.”
